Choosing 2 – PC comm test, and pressing OK can test the connection. A
message will be sent to the PC, and will be displayed on the terminal screen of
any standard communication software, such as Hyperterminal. If the message
does not appear correctly, ensure that the communications settings of both the
PC and the DMXDart are identical. If the settings are the same and problems
still exist, try changing the values until the test is successful. For further
assistance, contact Gray Interfaces Technical support.
Installing Software Upgrades
To update the operating software, choose 4 – Update From PC form the Boot
menu. This will display the update screen. Follow the instructions provided with
the operating software package to download the software files to the DMXDart.
The software files will load, and will be scanned for corruption. If the software is
free of errors, the DMXDart will be ready to operate using the new software. To
restart the DMXDart, select 7-Restart. The DMXDart will start with the new
software.
DartFlash
At present, the DMXDart supports the use of a 128KB serial flash module for
software backup. Supplies of this module have become unreliable. Watch the
Gray Interfaces website for developments.
